Sylver Seeker #5
Sylver Seeker 5
No one leaves a negotiation happy.
But wounded pride aside, Sylver was overjoyed with how everything turned out.
He left with a talented clairvoyant, an army of highly skilled dark elves, a talking golden crowbar, the finger of the greatest lich to ever exist, and all it cost him was a fraction of a fraction of a century.
Sadly Eira didn’t simply stop and wait for his return, Lola became a king, Bruno concocted abominations, Faust drowned his sorrows in powders and elixirs, and the ever-looming threat of High-Elves and Krists, loomed more than ever.
There was also the problem of a wandering [Hero] , Sophia’s disappearance, rumours of a Sun demon, and further minor issues that were on Sylver’s seemingly endless to-do list.
But the important thing was, he had a way to find Edmund, and all the cultivators, country sized mountains, ancient dragons, and swamp witches in the world weren’t going to be enough to stop him.
Book 5 of this Fantasy LitRPG Series about a reincarnated necromancer growing in power and finding his way in a new world where the rules have changed vastly since he last "lived."

Another convoluted side quest!
The plot started interesting once the author finally got to it. Unfortunately, however, it turned ever more tedious as there were endless dialogues between Sylver and his golem, fetch quests, only disgusting magic and a ever more convoluted, tiresome plot that annoyed me more and more as all felt just like a gigantic filler.. i found Sylver not likeable as he acts as an agent of chaos..
The plethora of rewarmed but mostly highly irrelevant side characters from the earlier story Sylver met and/or talked about at the first quarter of the book is rather overwhelming. I have to confess that i either forgot about most of these characters or did not really care about them, especially the multitude of female minor side characters that only made short appearances some books ago and still hang around and gives the story harem vibes..
Criticism and comments
I don't think that i ever read such a convoluted hundreds of years plan before as Sylver reminisced about his lovers from his last life..
Arches is no valid short version for arch mages..
Sylver's reaction when he encounters the plague carrier is highly irregular. His decision to endanger countless life just to simp is extremely bizarre.
Sylver's decision to agree to kill two youngsters just to free some unknown spy he neither needed or cared about resulting in him him becoming hunted by everyone seemed utterly deranged.

Saying that this is nothing but random filler implies there is some sort of a skeleton story to fill around. There isn't.

Good series.

Good, but
I like the series, but I think this one went off the rails a bit. Frankly not a lot seems to be accomplished, in fact the rest of the series feels as though it's building to a converging plot and up until the last book in the series, felt on track to accomplish this despite a massive detour. A lesser issue but one that I struggled with is the development of previously amicable character that begins to constantly criticize the MC. And then the pattern follows in which the MC will kind of force the reader's perspective with small revelations of the previously amicable character's inner processes - despite the reality that as the reader you do have to read through constant criticism and judgment. If you've read through the series to this point you will know that much of the MCs actions and reasonings are intentionally, generally amoral and that this is the main schtick of the series. Also, the MC does not accomplish their short term goal - or rather a short term goal has been stretched into a long term goal and the story makes a whole meal out of some, relative to the story so far, minor conflicts in another new setting that is hard to care about without a resolution for what was a journey that could have taken place during a time jump. It felt like it was time for the resolution, the MC to accomplish their current goal and we didn't get there. I do intend to continue the series, I am hoping to see it return to more interesting and relevant feeling territory, but if not - with respect to the author's process I can see myself putting the series down with warm regards for what I've read so far.

I've been enjoying the story, however pacing has been an issue.
I'm committed to the story now, as overall it's enjoyable and the anti-hero main character is fun. The pacing on a 700 page book is a challenge. The author constantly kills momentum by going into introspective moments describing how the main character could do something 3 different ways or 50 different ways, only to say, and I quote " luckily the MC doesn't have to do any of that as he can just do this.... "
So 3 to 20 pages of reading become a relevant.. also, the author feels the need to explain the author's actions either verbally in dialogue or through introspection and it just kills this pacing... Still, overall story is enjoyable and I'm going to just trudge through this.

no one is who they say they are
The start was abit rough has you just happen into the story I felt the author could’ve softened up the reader but the rest of the story I loved do I felt the sects were hit or miss in important that you can skip thouse scenes.

Excellent continuation of the story
A lich comes comes closer to his family.
An excellent read in a fun story, the minor edits from royal road make for a better read. Looking forward to book 6.

This is a fantasy LitRPG series about a very powerful Lich/Necromancer who dies and is mysteriously brought back to life/unlife a very long time later. I like the series overall. See my review for book 1 for additional thoughts on what I've read of this series.

The overall storyline has stalled. This is a series of interludes or side stories that barely add up to something calling itself a novel. I have enjoyed the series and characters so far but for the first time I had to work to stay interested.

I really do enjoy this series. The protag has his priorities straight, and does what he needs to do to get his job done. It helps that the character is well written, and competent.
Will pick up the sequel.
Did not like the cliffhanger though.
3/5 Stars
